Mathematical model of the sintering process taking into account different input gas conditions

CRM has developed a mathematical model of the sintering process aiming to optimize the latter in terms of both performances and environmental impact. The model is able to simulate conventional sintering as well as original layouts like selective waste gas recycling with integrated desulphurization or steam injection at the sinter bed surface. The results (in particular CO and SO 2 emission profiles) have been validated experimentally and also at the industrial scale.
